Mevlevi dervishes perform the whirling sema ceremony in a large room at Istanbul's Sirkeci Gar (train station) in the evening on Wednesday, Friday and Sunday.

Admission costs YTL25. You may order tickets for these performances by phone: +90 (212) 458-8834, or -8835. Many hotels and travel agencies also sell tickets for these performances.

I prefer to witness the sema in the Galata Mevlevihanesi (dervish hall), or in Konya, but if you can't make it to one of those performances, you may decide to see the dervishes at Sirkeci Gar.
